Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@prof another excellent post! I would say the measurements that show a change to the output signal don’t exist because they don’t exist.  And I think some manufacturers say to use the best cabling because they don’t want to alienate potential buye... 
Which Amp to complete my system?
